<pre>When using an altivec vector with (what I'd assume is) an unsupported element
type, the diagnostic that clang emits is suboptimal:
$ cat baderror.cpp
int foo() { vector bool a; }
$ ~/llvm/llvm-commit/build/release/bin/clang++ -cc1 -faltivec -triple
powerpc-unknown-unknown baderror.cpp
baderror.cpp:1:25: error: C++ requires a type specifier for all declarations
int foo() { vector bool a; }
~~~~~~~~~~~ ^
